The latest word on the personnel grapevine is that the Cavs won't discourage offers for the Brazilian, knowing it probably wouldn't matter anyway after receiving a steady stream of calls from interested teams for the past few years.

Stein also quotes another team's executive that calls this Varejao's "'get me out of Cleveland' tour."

If he wants to leave, these teams should do what it takes to get this talented player for the rest of the season.

Through the first month of the season, the Celtics have the fewest rebounds per game in the NBA.

Brandon Bass has not been as productive as a starting forward as the team could have hoped coming into the year, and rookie Jared Sullinger has not done much better.

General manager Danny Ainge believes that his team can still improve internally. He told Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe, "It’s been shown that it can come from within...It’s focus. It’s effort. It’s five guys doing it. All it takes is one guy to not be doing his job. That’s sort of where we are."

Of course, adding Varejao would make one less person that you have to worry about doing his job. He would instantly improve the defense and help the team get into the postseason once again.
